    That was actually a great invention, considering it replaced the unlimited hour work week (60-96 hours being normal in Victorian times). I agree that we should go further though.

    Always room for improvement, but to think the 40 work week was a bad idea shows how little history they know.

    Yes 40 hours is better, but people still end up with very few hours to themselves when all chores are done.

    Edit: Speaking as one that is looking at 25-30 more years on the grindstone 😔

    Notice I wrote 40+ that means 60-96 work weeks are included.

    And I am fully aware that workers have fought hard for the current 5 day work week, and we are working on 4 days even if it's slow progress.
